doing primary care in medical facilities. The instructions request a 
copy of Form G-28 from applicant institutions represented by legal

applicant organization and the exchange visitor.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Required as part of the 
application process to collect basic information such as name, address, 
family status, sponsor and current visa information.
    Likely Respondents: Research scientists and research facilities.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
